Krista @ mbaMission

Before I worked with Krista, I was really floundering with the MBA admissions process. I had applied to a single top program days during round 1, and got denied before the interview stage in late October. I was distressed and upset; looking at the calendar, I only had 60 days to put together another round of applications (and this time, to more than one school, eek!!)

Fortunately, I found Krista; I had heard of MBA Mission through their school guides, and was impressed by the thoroughness and quality of their writing. I spent an afternoon watching the brief video profiles that MBA Mission has on all of their consultants. When I came across Krista, I knew we would be a great fit. My MBA goals were to stay in finance, and end up in a midwestern city. Krista had done just that in her own MBA journey, and after our free consultative call, I knew that I wanted to work with her over the next few months.

Krista sets herself apart from other tutors, coaches, and consultants by building trust and understanding with her clients, before applicants write any essays, resumes, or video scripts. She has the among the highest EQ of any professional I have worked with. This lends itself to an application experience that will actually be an exercise in self-reflection and professional development; yes, in the end you will have an admissions letter to a target program after working with Krista. But you will also be prepared to tackle your actual MBA with sharpened writing, argumentative, and reasoning skills, alongside conviction and agency that you are prepared to make an impact in your chosen industry and community post-MBA.

Yes, applying for an MBA is daunting. But Krista is a terrific editor, meets all deadlines and agreed upon turn-around times, and will thoroughly prepare you for any interviews, giving applicants a toolkit to face an obtuse and sometimes arduous application process. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to MBA candidates; I have already passed her name along to two applicants in the MBA cycle.
